DCT's with paddle shifters are faster, in fact CVT cars are slower than manual gearbox car too in some cases, cause CVT's don't have gear and people have to balance the rev line on higher speeds if it's for a long period of time, cause CVT's were meant for comfort and convenience not for speed. That DCT gearbox has no gear shifting option, and shifts completely on itself, that's why it lacks on maintaining a quick acceleration.
@rjv_mntn 3 жыл бұрын
@@anurag15271 That statement is just incorrect. There will be power loss in any transmission. At the very least there will be frictional losses. We do not live in an ideal world. There is a reason wheel horsepower isn't even close to crack horsepower. But, of course, the earlier statement isn't correct too. CVTs also have power loss. DCTs might have losses only when engaging/disengaging, but CVTs will have a constant loss. They just don't 'disengage' the power train like how DCTs do. I think that's what he meant.

Problem with CVT is that it is uncapable of handling torque higher than potentially 300nm. Turbo injection engines are a major trend and they offer a substantial amount of torque at low RPMs and they're quite pleasant to drive. As opposed to DCT, CVT always will care not to deliver it's maximum torque at lower RPMs or the tension belt may not handle it properly. Of course, for an urban drive CVT suits very well but in case you want a rather sport drive, DCT is the way to go.

It can easily be coined as the most impressive Nissan product to roll out since its inception in India. Nissan just needs to market it aggressively & the Magnite will definitely set the stage on fire.

Exactly. I have been suggesting everyone in my circle to buy CVT. Unfortunately up until now all CVT cars were mated to pathetic engines. Duster Kicks and Magnite have changed that. Yes, single gear helps. It's like EV's single gear. I drove Duster 1.3 cvt and it shot out like a sling-shot.
